of excitement by placing distractions across
the Mobile and Grard railroad track in

stood Oh the track in front Of a passenger

threw a rock at the engineer. He was chased

Tampa's Fever Record.

TAMPA, FLA, Nov. 13.-Three new cases
Of yellow fever were reported to-day (all

aged IL years. Thirty-five patients are

four cases in the country.

on lower Tampa bay, is doubted. There
were three suspicious deaths there last week.

GUARDING THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Surgeon General Hamilton Submits
His Annual Report.


His Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Surgeon General
Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Service,
has submitted his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Treasury. The report covers
the operations of the last fiscal year, and the
sanitary operations for the year up to the
outbreak Of yellow fever at Tampa. The
hospitals and service generally are reported
TO be in satisfactory condition. In accord
ance with the provision contained
in the sundry civil appropriation act
the method practiced in Mexico and
Brazil for incubation as a preventive
against yellow fever is now being inveSti-
gated by Major George NJ. Sternberg, a
surgeon who has been detailed by the
President for that investigation. The gem
eral opinion Of sanitarians, however, has
not yet crystallized in favor Of incubation
as preventive Of yellow fever. The ex-
periments made on subject In
Havana in 1855, were seemingly as
conclusive as those to-day, but they
did not succeed in securing general adop-
ton, and DR.. Sternberg's report will doubt
les, provide the necessary data for passing
Judgment upon the efficacy of the system,
A full report is given Of the operations of
the service at Key West, Fla, and in re-
gard to the origin of the epidemic Of yellow
fever at that place. Regret is expressed
that the bill introduced in Congress at its
last session to establish national quaran-
tine station near Key West did not become
a law Had this bill become "A law, he says,
ii is strongly probable that the calamitous
epidemic might have been prevented, for
the first case, with all its belongings, would
have been promptly sent TO quarantine.

2 A Local Base ball League,

The Steubenvillo Gazette gays: Burt
Evans has received letter from the Sec.
tetary Of the Isnesville Base Ball Asso-
citation asking that Steubenvilles organize
. team ior The Ohio State Lesgue. -Four
citieu hayo sisuiasd their willingness to
enter, Akron, Mansfield, Wheeling and
ZAnesvlle and the cities desired are
Dayton, Columbus. Alliance or Bucyrua,
sandusky and Steubenville. It is thought
by Incorporating club from each place
and then having the stock subscribed, the
league would have profitable investment
provided no player receives moro than $50
per month. 1t has been clearly demon.
strated that an independent club will not
pay, and with the League the expenses
would only be half what they are now.
The matter ia being talked Of by some Of
the base ball admirers in this city and an
effort will soon BIO made to organize here.
